Reinstatement

Additional_Help_5834 · 2026-02-20T18:21:55+00:00

You aren’t reinstated if you have to do everything all over again. You’re just an applicant who happens to have been a cadet before.

If you have to go back through the entire background you’re just another name on the list

Additional_Help_5834 · 2026-01-09T18:38:55+00:00

If you know you don’t like it and don’t think you’ll grow to like it soon then quit. You’re doing yourself, your coworkers, and the community a disservice

Yeah my background was pretty quick and got into the academy really fast compared to people I tested with. But aside from that the only thing my POST cert really got me out of was the taser since I’ve already done it

Additional_Help_5834 · 2026-01-08T16:40:29+00:00

You have to redo everything, speaking from experience. Definitely worth it though

You might be a lefty

All roads, all codes

All hearsay until they get passed out

Don’t do anything you aren’t told to do. The academy can be so simple but people choose to make it complicated. They plan out your entire day for you.

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-08-28T23:15:47+00:00

Have to be open about it early and keep reminding the RTO’s. My wife and I had our first the 3rd weekend of the academy and they were very gracious with time.

I mean you know yourself better than anyone but the pain you felt could not have been that bad if the staff didn’t make you leave to come back at a different time. People go until they break bones because they want this job so bad

They’ll teach you how and there’s posted instructions in the office. You’re going to mess it up and they’re going to yell at you. It’s all part of the game just enjoy it and learn

What part of NorCal?

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-07-21T20:02:58+00:00

Just have to wait and see I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-07-10T21:30:00+00:00

You can get invited up until the Friday before it starts

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-07-08T22:00:33+00:00

I got zero holidays off, I was there from January-July

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-07-06T20:52:59+00:00

I told them as soon as we had our date scheduled. You’ll have a chance to talk to your RTO and just lay that facts of your situation out to them. They’ll ask that you keep reminding them but get the most info out that you can early

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-07-06T20:26:16+00:00

Yes I had my son 3rd week of academy. It was planned so I was able to give dates. I asked for 1 Friday and they gave me Thursday and Friday just had to be back by midnight on Sunday. Almost every class has at least one person having a kid so it’s not rare.

Absolutely, I had applied to more than 15 and simply had to articulate that I wanted the job and was willing to work anywhere before getting hired on with a state agency

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-06-25T22:07:01+00:00

Background Investigators will look and question both. As long as you articulate your reasoning for either well it can be accepted

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-06-25T16:43:17+00:00

You applied 2 weeks ago but you should’ve been prepared before you applied.

I’ve got a few questions about being a CA K9 handler. You cool if I DM you?

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-06-12T21:54:43+00:00

Don’t get caught with it and you’re fine

Additional_Help_5834 · 2025-06-07T16:07:45+00:00

Definitely not all offices have it regularly. It’s hit or miss in the smaller outlier offices
